Magnificent New Home on Quiet Mid-Country Lane
|
Handsome stone pillars bracket the wide driveway lined in Belgian block. The entrance courtyard frames the front door sheltered by a columned portico. The center hall with one of two powder rooms rises two stories with a beamed ceiling, a balcony and a sweeping curved stairway with a window seat under the circular window. The generous living room with elegant detailing and cabinetry around the fireplace has french doors to the screened porch. The richly panelled library has a coffered ceiling, while a wide archway with elaborate fretwork opens to the glorious dining room. The heart-of-the-house is the fabulous kitchen/family room, an expansive space which includes a large wet bar and a wonderful working area with top-of-the-line equipment; a generous breakfast room has french doors to a terrace overlooking the view, and the inviting step-down family room has a stone fireplace. There is a mudroom, a back stairway and a three-car garage. The luxurious master suite has a fireplace in the sitting room with french doors to a balcony, a bedroom, a dressing room with extensive built-ins and a large marble bathroom with a marvelous clawfoot bathtub and a steam shower. Four additional bedrooms each have special detailing and en suite bathrooms. The lower level has french doors from the second family room/media room with a stone fireplace to a terrace and a covered porch. A barrel-ceiling hall leads to an exercise room, a powder room, an impressive wine cellar/tasting room. An octagonal garden gazebo has lovely views to a distant pond with a charming footbridge. There is complete tranquility just a short distance from schools and downtown Greenwich. There are wonderful high ceilings, intricate detailing, a lighted cupola in the wood shingle roof and the decoration is a delight in lovely colors to ensure that this is a "turn key" house.
